"Loved this cast!!!! Great job everyone!" - CR

"Love what you did with LITTLE SHOP." - DK

"Saw Stray Cat Theatre’s production of Little Shop of Horrors this week. I was thoroughly entertained and impressed by the directorial vision and fresh take on a musical often produced within a narrow approach and take on the text. Theatre in the community moves me and I loved seeing a team of storytellers do something uniquely them. Chanel Bragg, of course, was a powerhouse." - EMT

"This was the best rendition of LSOH I have ever seen. Bravo is an understatement. Well done once again, Stray Cat!" - TM

"This is not your typical cookie cutter, candy-colored LSOH. You will NEVER see the show the same way again. It's dark, delirious, gory, squishy - This is Stray Cat firing on all outrageous cylinders." PHC

"Hector Coris is giving full on “uncut gems” vibes -and it was EVERYTHING." - DB

"This is the kind of quirky creativity the…theatre scene is missing. I’m sorry to say it." - MM

"This production kicked ass they were all so funny." - AM

"Oh my God go see LITTLE SHOP!" - NS

"The greatest thing i have ever seen at stray cat theatre". - JG

"I’m in love with everyone in this show. It’s so funny. Please go see it before it closes." - BB

"Stray Cat has always inspired and pushed me to think outside of the box. This version of LlTTLE SHOP nods to the classic but gives you a delicious twist or two, the only way Stray Cat can do. Please go see what these artists are doing on “Skid Row” cause by the end you will “Suddenly Seymour.” - MT

"Y’all go see LITTLE SHOP they are so amazing and so funny you’ll love it - and Isaac Greenland (Seymour) is…so good omg!!!" - NI

"Congrats on your show! It was so good to hear Chanel sing for the gods! And [redacted - you have to come see to find out] cracked me up!" - KM

"I went to bed thinking about the show and all of the fun you all created. It was so funny and nuanced, just such an enjoyable experience. Thank you for building on the original story, and for not being afraid to create something new! You are brave...and I’m constantly inspired." - KR

"Great job! The show was awesome!" - KH

"If you’re up for a musical, you can see Stray Cat Theatre’s Little Shop of Horrors at TCA now through May 17th. Hector Coris is fantastic!" - JC

"We loved Hector Coris’s performance as Mushnik in Stray Cat Theatre’s LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. You will, too." - RP

"From the moment she (Chanel Bragg as Audrey II) said her first FEED ME you knew you were in for something incredible." - AM

“Nothing short of magical.” - CBC

“Just saw this show last night. It was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen! The talent was unreal and the whole cast felt fully immersed in their roles! This was such a funny, wild ride of a show and I loved it so much. I’ll be going to see it again next week!” - MB

"Was lucky enough to see this last weekend!  It was awesome. I'm even more in love with Chanel Bragg after seeing her as Audry II ! - DS

"Enjoyed Little Shop at Stray Cat Theatre! Tiana designed the beautiful, unique set!...Two more weekends to catch it! Great cast! Get ready for a new twist!"- PT

"Friends and I just saw the Stray Cat Theatre production of Little Shop of Horrors. It’s been my favorite musical since I was a kid. Thank you Ron May, cast and crew for putting on an incredible show. Loved it!" - TVD

“With Little Shop’s unstoppable raw energy, Stray Cat Theatre has created at Tempe’s Studio Theatre the same intentional rough-around-the-edges production that New York audiences enjoyed back in ‘82 when the show was first performed in an Off-Off Broadway intimate setting, only darker.” - DA

"The show was marvelous. In particular, I loved the powerful voice of Audrey 2.  It reminded me of the song "gimme shelter." Merry Clayton, Mick Jagger's back-up, made that song iconic.
Hats off to Audrey 2—and the rest of the cast.  Bravo." - DY

"What a fantastic...night out...to see our friends in Little Shop of Horrors. It’s one of my favorite shows and was fun to see how Stray Cat Theatre did a little reimagining of this fan favorite." - DC

"Best night! I had so much fun being in the front to see all of this. I always look forward to what you guys do." - MS

"Stray Cat Theatre what a triumph …. Run don’t walk to see this delightful performance of Little Shop of Horrors…. The entire cast is phenomenal but I have to give a shout out to Chanel Bragg for giving us “Big Plant Energy!" - this show was wonderfully cast and is not short on laughs and heartfelt singing performances Estrella Parra, Hector Coris and Isaac Greenland’s voices are amazing and Nathan Spector’s take on the Dentist made me say yassssss DADDY… I mean DOCTOR…. Don’t miss this show you have until the 17th" - SL

"I literally dreamed about a masochistic chiropractor last night. In the dream, I managed to find justice though the courts instead of feeding him to Chanel. She was an inspired casting choice, by the way. As was Estrella. I enjoyed the show a lot - the cherry on top of the skid row sundae being [redacted - you have to come see to find out] cameo...I hope you have a great run!" - CD

"Tonight we got to enjoy Little Shop of Horrors at Stray Cat Theatre ! You should get your booties down there." - ET

"What a great show. If you want to hear some great music and have a good laugh. Come to TCA and watch this show. So much fun!" - DK

"10/10 would recommend you get your ass to this show" - RR

"My friend…who has never seen a play in his entire life (he’s 47) and this was his first time stepping foot in a theatre…absolutely LOVED it." - AK

"GO get yourself a Dopamine overload from the rich production Stray Cat puts on, in its only Stray Cat style, of Little Shop of Horrors. You'll be singing "Little Shop of Horrors" all day long like me and everyone else in the sold out house last night. Bravo to the talented cast and smart and creative production team!!!!!!!!!!" - DL

"No spoilers. Go see and then we can chat. Congratulations to @straycattheatre" - BF

"You really should go see this one. It's a *hoot"."- JG

"Opening Night! Only Ron May, as director, could give this production  such a fresh and edgy new look! Entire cast took his guidance and made tonight over-the-top! Special recognition to Estrella Paloma and superstar Chanel Bragg! Stephen Hohendorf-Parnell managed choreography so well; Tiana Torrilhon-Wood is amazing with scenic design; music direction by Mark Foreman is stellar and I know Cullen Arthur Law was creating alongside him! Yes, Stray Cat Theatre produced a musical and the full house was delighted!" - LP

"GO SEE THIS SHOW! It’s amazing!! - TA

"A feast for the eyes and ears…Bravo!!" - KM

"The show is filled with delicious double-entrees and stylistic nonsense that makes audiences laugh riotously. Grade: B" - CC

"Leave it to Stray Cat Theatre to bring a fresh approach to familiar material. LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS was both sinister and sensational! The CAST is outstanding, the vocals and music fantastic and the pacing was perfect (always a bonus). My fiance called the show a "feast of horror and horticulture" Thanks for another entertaining evening and congratulations to Ron May, Stray Cat, the cast, and crew. Y'all...get your tix and enjoy this!" - VR

"As life as gotten busier, I sadly don't make it out to see theatre as much these days, but it's always a joy when I make the trip out to my favorites over at Stray Cat Theatre. Thoroughly enjoyed the opening night of Little Shop of Horrors and Ron May's deliciously Stray Cat-ian approach to the show. Check it out! Show runs through May 17th!" - TS

"...really, really enjoyed the show. Loved the staging, casting and performances all around and Tiana's Caligari inspired set was, well inspired. Honestly, wasn't sure I was going to like including the masochist part of the film when it started but by the end, I was laughing so hard it hurt. Overall, it was a wonderful romp. All of my group had a wonderful night, and I look forward to your next one. Love the work you guys do." - RH
